Description

Niurrutiqarniq: Trading with the Hudson�s Bay Company recounts both Inuit and a trader�s perspective on the fur trade in the Nunavut area in the last half of the 20th century. It is also a poignant account of the introduction of money, through the use of the token system at the HBC posts, to Family Allowance payments which led to the settlement of Inuit in communities, and finally to the cash economy in use today.
